find out important landmarks in the Australian Cricket
History.

In 1957, Ian Craig led the Australian side when he was only 22,
to top the list of youngest ODI captains of Australia.

The Ashes started in 1882 when
Australia beat England on
English ground for the first
time. ‘The Sporting Times’
newspaper claimed that English
cricket had died.

5. #3
The tournament has been
called so since 1905 after
England’s winning captain
of the 1903-04 series wrote
a book called How We
Recovered The Ashes.

6. #4
Shane Warne was the first Australian to achieve the 400+ wicket feat in Test
Cricket. He had 463 wickets at the end of the 2002/03 Ashes series in Australia.

In 1986, Bruce Reid became the first player to take a hat trick in ODI
internationals as Australia played against
New Zealand.

There have been only three Ashes whitewashes, where one team has won all
the Tests in a series – and all three of them have been achieved by the
Aussies, in 1920–21, 2006–07 and the latest feat being in 2013-2014.
